math - memorization or understanding

Or, is math just for aspergers cases. I mean, when I did intro algebra it seemed like completing the square, long dividing polynomials, etc. were all just mindless memorization. I'm taking more math above this intro stuff, just to see if it gets any more interesting.

REMEMBER ONE THING!


You are not at university only to get the knowledge but hopefully to understand it to a level that nobody elses has ever reached before so that you can gain new knowledge.

That's science.

In German, it literally means "to create knowledge" .


Therefore you better try to understand it instead just memorize some signs that can be replaced any time.
